Thierry Casasnovas, known as the “guru of raw foodism”, has recently been in the spotlight for a controversial case involving professional training. Following his judicial supervision after being charged with “abuse of trust”, “abuse of weakness”, and “illegal practice of medicine and pharmacy” – allegations that he denies – he has been banned from organizing or participating in any training related to naturopathy, hygiene, health, or well-being. Despite this restriction, he continues to produce and distribute videos, with his YouTube channel now having over a million subscribers, even though it no longer generates any income for him.
Casasnovas, who claims to be living off his partner’s unemployment benefits, has shifted his focus to his children and gardening. He remains active on his website, rgnr.tv, where subscribers can access his videos and advice on fasting and vegetable juicing for a monthly fee. He denies being the owner of the site, stating that he is simply a contributor and lacks the energy to relaunch it himself. The site is operated by a newly established Irish company, Regenere Limited, which has a capital of 100,000 euros. On top of this platform, Casasnovas is also active on Telegram, where he provides special offers to his 42,000 subscribers, such as a training course on cryptocurrencies and Web 3.0.
The content of the video in question, titled “The biggest lie about your health,” captures Casasnovas talking enthusiastically about facing judgment and looking forward to the time of his trial. He dismisses the media’s portrayal of him as a guru and expresses his disdain for the accusations brought against him. Despite his legal troubles, Casasnovas appears to be unapologetic and continues to engage with his audience through online platforms. His popularity has surged, with a growing number of followers on various digital channels, although his YouTube channel is no longer monetized.
The case against Casasnovas involves allegations of financial misconduct and unauthorized medical practices, to which he maintains his innocence. As part of his bail conditions, he is prohibited from conducting any training sessions related to his expertise in natural health. He claims to be abiding by these restrictions and is focused on his personal life and content creation activities. While his website serves as a hub for his followers to access his teachings, he emphasizes that he is not the owner of the site and is unable to devote his full energy to running it.
Despite the legal and financial challenges he is facing, Casasnovas remains dedicated to sharing his knowledge and advice on health and nutrition with his online community. He continues to create content and engage with his followers through various digital platforms, including his YouTube channel and website. His recent involvement in a cryptocurrency training course highlights his continued efforts to stay relevant and provide valuable information to his audience. As he navigates through his legal troubles, Casasnovas remains a polarizing figure in the world of natural health and wellness, with a loyal following and growing influence online.
